‘energised Land’ – Energy for data centres

RWE enables high-performance, sustainable data centres in strategic industrial locations

Powering the Future of data centres

A Trusted Partner for Europe’s Digital Growth

Digitalisation and AI are transforming the global economy, driving unprecedented demand for scalable, resilient, and sustainable data centre infrastructure. Developers face increasing complexity in securing land, grid access, and long-term clean power at the required speed.

With more than 125 years of energy-sector expertise, a leading position in renewable generation, and strong local connections, RWE is uniquely positioned to accelerate the deployment of next-generation data centres across Europe.

Site-specific solutions

Site-specific solutions

To support resilience and flexibility, RWE develops on‑site, behind‑the‑meter energy assets for data‑centre partners, including:

  • Gas/H2 peakers
  • Battery storage systems
  • Hybrid backup concepts
  • Bridge‑to‑grid solutions enabling earlier operational start

These solutions reduce reliance on diesel generators, increase efficiency, and unlock additional value through participation in energy markets.
We own and manage secure, grid-connected power generation facilities on-site to accelerate the deployment of data centres.

Key benefits

  • Faster time to power

  • Reduced development risk

  • Strong integration with local communities

  • Long-term cost and sustainability certainty

Our goal is to deliver a consistent, scalable, and sustainable solution for data centre development.

Our Projects –
energised Land

RWE develops data centres on its own industrial sites, taking responsibility for appropriate planning law, securing grid connection, and supplying renewable energy. This integrated approach enables accelerated timelines and increased delivery certainty.

    • Strong growth in data centre demand
    • Grid access and community support as a key constraint
    • RWE sites provide advantages through existing infrastructure
    • 30 owned locations in core markets

    • ~10 sites under development
    • 3 GW grid capacity applied or secured
    • Locations across the European Megalopolis

    • Pre-developed, grid-connected sites (sale/lease)
    • Green power supply via PPAs
    • On-site generation, backup, and energy management
